It\'s Like Coming Home
Thu, 04 Feb 2010 by Susanna Loewy
Well, yesterday I managed to get myself to the Y to swim. (When did workouts get so hard to fit into my day? How have I become so lazy?)
The pool is of 25-yard adequate length, but it tastes bad and is way too hot. But...
Sigh.
I love it. I get in the water, and it's like I can do no wrong. I glide through silkily â€" metronomic rocking from side to side pulses my way from one wall to the next, a flip turn divides the measures of the laps, and the sculling creates a steady current of jet propelled water behind me.
Of course, I'm not as fast or strong as I've been in the past, but it didn't matter. I am meant to be in the water.
I think I've done a decent job of developing my 'land legs' over the past few years (I had better, with biking across the country, an IronMan, and several marathons under my belt) , but sheesh - I get in the water and I just feel... finally... home.
